Fuction:
A cream preparation of melissa may be useful for the treatment of cold sores.
(1) In addition to shortening the healing period of cold sores, melissa may aid in the prevention of spreading the infection. Studies suggest that it may also have a soothing effect on typical symptoms of cold sores like itching, tingling, burning, and swelling. Scientists have looked at a few other potential uses for melissa extracts. For instance, it may function as an antioxidant when taken internally.
(2, 3) Melissa has also seen much use in Europe as supportive therapy for the nervous system, possibly helping to decrease stress and improve sleep.
